Soggy conditions last weekend did not stop five Southeast Texas baseball teams from advancing to the Regional Quarterfinals of the playoffs, which will start tomorrow.

Bridge City's path to a 16th Regional Semifinal appearance has looked awfully similar to the 2013 playoffs. The last two seasons, the Cardinals have defeated Sweeny in the Area round. And just like last season, Huffman Hargrave is the Regional Quarterfinal opponent.

The Cardinals were one of many teams that had to deal with the inclement weather and delays due to lightning and rain. BC head coach Chad Landry is pleased with how his team handled the weekend.

"I thought we dealt with all of those distractions fairly well," Landry said. "Being stuck in a hallway for five hours, on a bus for six hours. They overcame it and played really well."

Despite losing to the Falcons 5-4 last season, Chad Landry insists that he the team is not seeking out redemption.

"I don't think there's any revenge aspect to it," Landry said. "I just think it's the next step in our goal. These guys haven't really talked about it too much. They just understand that it's the next game on the schedule and we get to play for another week. That's what we're focused on."

The Cardinals offense has been a force so far in the playoffs, averaging over 10 runs in their three games. Hargrave on the other hand has won low-scoring games with the help of their pitching. The Falcons have only scored seven runs in three games, but they have only allowed four runs over that same span as well.
